More than 900 artists from around 100 countries have developed and advanced projects at the Akademie since its opening in 1990, creating a close-knit, global network of Solitude alumni that expands from year to year. The Akademie persues an intense exchange between artistic and scientific disciplines.

Currently enrolled university or college students (at the time of application) will not be considered for selection.

Since I recall you mentioned the last time that sometimes they do grant fellowships to those over 35, I went to the site and read the whole application pages, and indeed they do state that sometimes fellowships are granted to those over 35. Now that I am in Austria, I am going to explore this possibility. Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:02:21 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#166371 Yes they do have fellows over 35 so it is worth applying for!

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:09:47 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#166640 Well seeing as I am a former fellow and photographer I would say yes, it falls under visual arts. Would I post it here otherwise? Every round they seem to take at least one or two photographers I'd say...

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 21:45:42 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#167992 A few of you have already gotten in touch with questions or seeking advice so to everyone else feel free to PM me if you are thinking of applying and need some further info! Good luck! Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:37:54 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#168065 Keep getting in touch guys, this is totally worth applying for! Wed, 06 Oct 2010 12:09:03 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#168190 The comments above about them accepting applicants over the age of 35 is misleading. The Academie's info states 'those up to age 35, or if older who have completed a university or college degree within the past five years are welcome to apply.' So it ain't just anyone over the age of 35. Mon, 11 Oct 2010 12:54:23 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#168272 Nigel is right. They tend to focus on people 35 or under but they also set aside a number of fellowships for artists of any age as well. Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:09:18 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#168294 Yes, perhaps they do Damaso, but presumably only if you've completed a university degree within the last five years. That's what it says. Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:33:59 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#168300 It does say that. it also says that at the juror's discretion they will offer fellowships to artists of any age, thought these are a relatively small number. "Several fellowships are also awarded regardless of the applicant's age." As someone who has been a fellow I can vouch for that. the point is that the vast majority of fellows are under 35 regardless of when they completed their degree but a small number are older, mid career artists. The point is anyone who thinks this might be a good opportunity should apply regardless of age! Wed, 13 Oct 2010 10:03:44 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#168306 One last bump! Sun, 17 Oct 2010 19:58:05 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#168405 Yeah, it's worth a try. Mon, 18 Oct 2010 01:05:23 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/akademie-schloss-solitude-residency-program#168410 Indeed Nigel...
